What is the main intention of the Brownfields Law for property owners?

The main intention of the Brownfields Law for property owners is to help clean up contaminated sites. This legislation aims to facilitate the assessment, cleanup, and reuse of brownfield properties—those sites that may be contaminated but have potential for redevelopment. By providing financial assistance, liability relief, and regulatory support, the law encourages property owners and developers to revitalize these areas, leading to improved environmental conditions and economic benefits for communities. Thus, the focus is on remediation and responsible development rather than simply delaying sales, maintaining properties, or increasing taxes. These provisions help to lessen the risks associated with environmental liabilities and promote the safe redevelopment of impacted land.
